Comfort Coffee

Since Felicia’s Atomic Lounge opened in 2004 next door to the original Gimme! Coffee roastery in Ithaca, N.Y., the two businesses have collaborated on multiple projects. Gimme’s roasting director, Colleen Anunu, not only taste-tests Felicia’s new coffee drinks, she also moonlights as a Felicia’s bartender. Felicia’s cocktail chef and co-owner, Leah Houghtaling, uses Gimme’s Guatemalan beans for this drink, and she warns resisting the urge to add whipped cream to it, as it will curdle due to the citrus in the syrup.
